Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. Because we gather certain types of information about the users of Biashara SME, we want to ensure that you fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it. By using the Biashara SME website, you signify your agreement to the terms of our privacy policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use or disclose any personal information through our sites.

Personal Information
You do not need to provide any information that identifies you (“personal information”) to use this Website. In general, you can visit our Website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information.

However, if you wish to benefit from the additional services offered by Biashara SME such as listing in the business directory, registration as an expert, posting your business event and posting job vacancies, you will be asked to register some personal information. This information could include your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and web url.

If you register for an email newsletter, post to a blog or join a discussion group, you may be asked for information that helps to identify you, such as your name, email address, and organisation. The information you are asked to provide is used for technical and customer administration of the site only and is not shared with third parties.

We may share aggregate, non-personal information about website usage with unaffiliated third parties, including, but not limited to, government agencies, advertisers, and the media (i.e., __% of Biashara SME users are male, __% of users have visited certain sections, etc.). This aggregate information does not contain any personal information about our users.

We may also be required to disclose personal information by law or legal process, to protect and defend the rights or property of the Biashara SME site, or to protect the personal safety of users to our site. We also reserve the right to contact appropriate authorities when activities that are illegal or violate our policies are taking place on the Biashara SME site.

How We Protect Personal Information
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information. Only authorized employees are permitted to access to your personal information, and they only may do so for permitted functions. Any employee who violates our privacy access policies will be subject to disciplinary action, including termination when appropriate.

Accessing or Deleting Your Personal information

We will use reasonable efforts to supply you with this information and to correct any factual inaccuracies that you identify. Upon your request, we also will remove your personal information from our databases.

Collection, Use and Disclosure of Non-Personal Information
In some cases, the site may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable, as described below.

IP Addresses
Biashara SME records your IP address, which is the Internet address of your computer, and information such as your browser type and operating system. This information helps us learn about the geographical distribution of our website visitors and the technology they use to access our site.

We collect data on our site’s traffic. Only summaries of visitors’ behaviour are produced, for instance, the most popular and least popular pages. The information collected cannot be traced back to a particular individual. The purpose of this data collection is to enable Biashara SME better understand the preferences of its visitors and improve its site and services. This information is never connected with any personal information you supply to us if you register on our website.

Use of cookies and web beacons
When you register for one of our services, Biashara SME sets a cookie, a small bit of code stored on your computer’s hard drive that enables you to manage your subscriptions and online profile. By setting this cookie, Biashara SME will remember you the next time you visit and won’t have to bother you by asking questions you have already answered (like address information).

You are always free to decline our cookies, if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on the site and may be required to re-enter information more frequently to use certain services on the website.

When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred from the Biashara SME site and connected to the website of the organisation or company that you selected. Even if an affiliation exists between Biashara SME and a third-party website, Biashara SME exercises no control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a website that is linked to the Biashara SME site, you should consult that site’s privacy policy before providing those sites with any of your personal information.
